Fuel Solenoid questions

I got to thinking today and I would like to know if this would work.
Would running a wire from the positive battery terminal to the fuel solenoid, and short out the starter. would this get her running. I dont have any problems with mine, just would like to know if it would work this way. Please correct me here but, when you shut the key off, doesnt it cut the power to the fuel solenoid and shut the motor down.
I got to experimenting on the last oil change. I unplugged the fuel solenoid and turned it over to build oil presure and to see how quickly the motor turned over( I have never heard more than one complete crank on mine). And it did not start with it unplugged(of course)
THANKS,
Wheelo

it would be pretty easy as long as they could get the steering unlocked

Yeah - hotwiring one of these would be a piece of cake, but unlocking the steering wheel is a whole different matter...
